Eggplant is a vegetable that everyone love not only for its delicious flavor, but also for its versatile nature in the kitchen. Although the other favorite way to enjoy it is roasted in the oven, you may also wanted to prepare it in a different way in a healthy and something more original recipe for dinner like eggplant rolls stuffed with tomato, cheese and kale.
This recipe is not difficult, although for it to turn out well it is advisable to have a good, large, sharp knife, or a mandoline, and a good non-stick griddle or grill. It is preferable to choose straight eggplants, with firm flesh, with few seeds inside. It looks better if we cut it thinly , although it is also more difficult to handle if we cut it too thin. It is best to try various thicknesses the first time until you master the recipe.
